Taking stock of the Roberts court at 20—and the shadowy forces that built it "Roberts will go down in history as the most destructive chief justice."

Chief Justice John Roberts has led the Supreme Court for 20 years now.

In that time, his Republican-appointed majority has completely transformed America and its politics, with many of its most destructive opinions written by Roberts himself.

And when he said, “I wouldn’t have known.” 🤬

Talk about a graphic that says it all. Well done, Bulwark.

Did the judge order reparations and bringing those people back and making them whole?

Because I am sick of judges telling Team TACO that they did wrong, but not forcing them to fix it.

A post on X by @micah_erfan includes a photo of a man wearing a "Make Liberals Cry Again" shirt, standing with a woman holding a child near a body of water with a bridge in the background. The post claims that after a Michigan shooting, Trump implied the shooter was an anti-Christian leftist, and contrasts this with the shooter's background, showing the man in the photo. Adjacent to this is a screenshot of a post by @realDonaldTrump from September 28, 2025, at 12:08 PM, addressing a shooting at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, Michigan, mentioning FBI involvement and calling for an end to violence.

Not trans. Not Muslim. Not a liberal. Just another radical white man with access to guns who in this case hated the LDS Church, as the NYT has since reported.

Who benefits from the Argentina bailout? Oh, say it ain’t so! A buddy of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent? A thread.🧵:

Live your life in such a way that if the escalator stops, you don't assume it's because people hate you.

Stop the scapegoating and start dealing with America’s real gun crisis.

ya sex is nice but have you ever made a particularly pertinent comment during book club and everyone starts snapping in approval

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Arizona just made Trump sweat: Democrat Adelita Grijalva won a razor-thin House seat and she’ll be the deciding signature to force a vote to release Jeffrey Epstein’s files 🔥

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES‼️

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

The GOP Gerrymander in Texas: How They Rigged the Map Read about the fight for democracy from activists, elected officials, legal experts and others.

Minorities make up 60% of Texas’s population and even drove 95% of the state’s growth in the most recent Census. Yet their new map cuts their share of districts from 34% to 21%.

Advocates say that’s no accident.

What happened to Charlie Kirk is also what happened to 20 children (ages 6 and 7) at the Sandy Hook Elementary School.

I don’t remember the right being this upset back then—do you? 🤨

The Naval Academy is on lockdown from a shooting, Charlie Kirk’s assassin is on the loose, Russia is launching drones into Poland, and Trump is at a Yankees game.

And MAGAs *proudly* say Donald Trump is the absolute leader of their party and that disloyalty to him is grounds for excommunication. They freely admit that the party is modeled on this one sociopath obsessed with ultraviolence.

That's why MAGA is violent: it was designed to be.

On this day in 1991, Clarence Thomas’ hearings began. We didn’t listen to the brilliant Black woman who told us the truth. 33 years later, his seat still stains the Court. Maybe it’s time we started listening to the women in the room.

Lawyer: Oregon firefighter arrested by Border Patrol during wildfire was on track for legal status Lawyers are demanding the release of a longtime Oregon resident arrested by Border Patrol while fighting a Washington state wildfire.

Once again, Border Patrol tells the press this was a targeted kidnapping, yet they took a man who is legally here & in the immigration process. This shows that it was not a targeted investigation as they claimed. Press must stop printing lies. apnews.com/article/immi...

RFK Jr.’s damage to the CDC is ‘past the point of no return,’ Dr. Demetre Daskalakis warns “The CDC you knew is over,” the infectious diseases doctor told The Advocate. “Unless someone takes radical action, there is nothing there that can be salvaged.”

The Iowa Senate seat that Democratic candidate Catelin Drey flipped tonight has been in GOP hands for 13 years.

Not anymore.

The umpire who picked a side: John Roberts and the death of rule of law in America The chief justice of the US has painted himself as a modern institutionalist over the past 20 years. Experts say he’s emboldening Trump’s drive toward authoritarianism
